How It Works

This conservative strategy automatically allocates stablecoins across the highest-yielding lending protocols. The algorithm continuously monitors rates across Aave, Compound, and other DeFi protocols, automatically rebalancing to optimize yield while minimizing gas costs. Perfect for risk-averse investors seeking stable returns.

Yield Sources

1. Lending Protocols

Deposits are allocated to battle-tested lending platforms:

• Supply stablecoins to borrowers

• Earn interest paid by borrowers

• Auto-compound interest earnings

2. Yield Aggregation

Smart routing optimizes returns:

• Continuous monitoring of rates across protocols

• Automated rebalancing to highest-yield opportunities

• Gas-efficient execution

Protocol Allocation

Protocol	Allocation	Purpose
Aave	50%	Primary lending venue
Compound	30%	Secondary lending
Yearn	20%	Yield optimization

Risk Factors

Very Low Risk This is the most conservative strategy on NectarFi. No leverage, no derivatives - just simple lending to earn yield.

Smart Contract Risk

Exposure to multiple protocols means multiple contract risks. Mitigation:

• Only established, audited protocols (Aave, Compound, Yearn)

• Diversification limits single-protocol exposure

• Continuous monitoring for exploits

Depeg Risk

Stablecoins can theoretically lose their peg. Safeguards:

• Primary focus on USDC (regulated, transparent reserves)

• Limited exposure to algorithmic stables

• Monitoring for early warning signs

Yield Compression

DeFi yields fluctuate with market conditions. During low-yield periods:

• Strategy remains deployed but returns decrease

• No principal risk from lower yields

• Historical average provides baseline expectations

Fees

Performance Fee: 10%

Charged only on profits. Lower than other strategies due to simpler execution.

Management Fee: 1% Annual

Minimal fee covering operational costs and gas optimization.

The displayed APY of 7.4% is net of all fees. What you see is what you earn.

FAQ

Is my principal at risk?

The primary risks are smart contract exploits or stablecoin depegging. Both are rare events, especially with established protocols like Aave and Compound. This is the lowest-risk strategy on NectarFi.

Why is the APY lower than other strategies?

Lower risk = lower returns. This strategy doesn't use leverage or derivatives, focusing instead on simple, battle-tested lending protocols. The tradeoff is stable, predictable yields.

Can I withdraw anytime?

Yes! No lock-up periods. Withdrawals process quickly since no complex positions need unwinding.

Which stablecoins can I deposit?

Currently, the strategy accepts USDC. Support for additional stablecoins is planned.
